The number of threads used in weaving are counted by the square inchFor example a thread count of 180 means a weave of 100 vertical threads per square inch, called the warp, and 80 horizontal threads, called the weftThe thickness of the thread is also a factor in this equationThe finer the thread the more of them there will be in one square inch, giving a higher thread countAnother thing to be aware of is plyTwo ply fabric is made by twisting the yarns together before weaving, whereas single ply uses a single threadUsing two ply yarn doubles the thread countSo to compare the two remember that a single ply with a thread count of 100 is equal to a two ply with a count of 200Thread count can go as high as 800 or 1000 threads, but you can buy perfectly good bed linen with a thread count of 180The term percale means a thread count of at least 100A higher thread count is not necessarily better because the higher the thread count the thinner and more delicate the fibers will be, unless it is 2 plySince 2 ply doubles the thread count this makes the cotton heavier, not necessarily what you want in bed sheets Personally, I use a 300-thread count cotton percale which is okay for everyday use - not too rough, not too delicate eitherA Martha Stewart queen set (a fitted sheet,a flat sheet, and 2 pillowcases) costs about $50.
